If I Could Pack Three Children In a Suitcase...



First day of school for Nuevo Mundo was the first week in April. Jenny and Oscar´s three boys now all attend. Oscar and Luis are in fourth and third grade, but this is Nico´s first year going. Jenny insists that the baby, Maria Sarita, will also go there (oh and that she will also be a missionary and speak six different languages). The kids have to pass a test to get into Nuevo Mundo, and it´s super competitive, but it gives them a shot at a much better education than the one they would get at a public school here. I rushed home from work to see them get on the bus for their first day :)

Oh, and I almost cried. And I never cry...at least not much before this year. Ecuador has made me emotional.

I will probably put this picture in a frame when I go home. I um, really like it a lot :)

PS I love school uniforms.
